Aa of today,I have developed some red spot around my penis .Precisely, just beneath the tip of penis.

I have attached a picture for the same.

Brief Answer:
The red spot around penis is due to some other infection not related to HIV

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome to HCM.

You had unprotected sex one week before and the reports came negative after 2 days which is not considered reliable as the window period for HIV is 15 days to 2 weeks.

As far as red spot around tip of penis is considered it might be due to some other infection because the symptoms of Acute Retroviral Syndrom also take at-least 10 to 15 days to develop.

As per my advice you need to go for repeat HIV testing after 15 days with 4th generation test to be completely sure about your status. Till that time just be relaxed and hope for the best.

Lastly, as your friend I will advice you to avoid unsafe sexual practices to stay away from the risk of HIV and other STDs.

Thank You

Brief Answer:
The risk.of tramsmission of HIV from oral sex is very less so don't worry.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

The risk of getting HIV infection from oral sex is very less as compared to vaginal or anal sex so you need not to worry much.

The itching and sore throat might be due to some other viral infection. For this you can consult your local physician and take some treatment like antibiotics and cetrizine.

Don't be so anxious. Be relaxed and move ahead in life as you are at very low risk of getting HIV.

The boil on your neck and scrotum area is mostly due to some other infection or sometimes it might happen due to exposure to excessive heat but not related to HIV ao you need not to worry.

Hello Dr XXXXXXX

I am very happy and thankful that i have a doctor like you,

Your advices have been very helpful to me by all means and i am also feeling very comfortable in talking to you, wish i could get your number.

There's this thing that i want to mention here is i had an unprotected oral sex at a massage parlour.
I was embarassed by the whole incident and since then i am getting very anxious about all these things.

Activities: She just gave me a blowjob wiped with tissue and i engaged in cunnilingus and some lips to lips kissing and genital to genital touching.

We did not have anyvaginal or anal sex .
However, while performing some cunnilingus i came across with some vaginal fluids and had spit that out.

I have narrated you the exact incident which took place on 27 Aug'15 .

Please tell me do i need to be worried.

Thank you.

Brief Answer:
You need not to worry much as the risk of transmission of HIV is very less.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

First of all, I am very happy to hear that you are very much relaxed now. As I had told earlier that the risk of transmission of HIV through kissing and oral sex is very less as compared to vaginal and anal sex so you need not to worry at all.

You had this incident before around 10 days so wait for at-least 15 days after that I will advice you to go for 4th generation HIV test to get very much accurate result till that time just be relaxed and go on in life happily as the risk is very low.

As I had already told your problems are just because of some sort of infection for which you can consult your local physician and take some treatment like antibiotics and avil. No need to worry so much, just be relaxed and go for 4th generation HIV test after 15 days of exposure to clear all your doubts.

Hello Dr XXXXXXX

I have followed your advice and got the test done after 15 days.I went for HIV 1&2 ELISA and it came non reactive.

However, as of today i have got some white color thing on my middle finger.Upon scratching it becomes red and i could also see some red dots.

Also i saw some black color lesion around my penis.

I have attached a picture for the same.

Please tell me do i have to again go for the test or not required.

Thankyou.

Answered by Dr. Sunil Jangid (27 hours later)

Brief Answer:
You can go for 4th generation HIV test because ELISA only detects antibody.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

First of all, your HIV 1 & 2 ELISA test is non-reactive after 15 days so it is quite relaxing for you but HIV ELISA detects the presence of antibodies only not antigen and the window period for HIV is 15 days to 3 months so to be completely sure about your status you can go for HIV 4th generation test as I had told earlier which detects the presence of both HIV antigen as well as antibody and it is more reliable.

As far as the lesions on your middle finger and penis are concerned they might be due to some other fungal or bacterial infection for which you can consult your local physician and take some treatment like avil or cetrizine or multivitamin as per the advice or go for some other investigations to isolate the cause. Don't worry much as the risk is very low in your case.

Hello Dr XXXXXXX

I have actually told them i want to undergo 4th generation hiv elisa test.

While the reports show hiv 1and 2 elisa.
I cannot see the word antigen on the reports.
So is it considered that they have included it under the sane head hiv 1&2 elisa?

I was really worried about those lesions.

Thank you

Answered by Dr. Sunil Jangid (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
No need to worry much and send me the report than only I can say anything.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

If they have not mentioned about antigen report than I don't think they have done it so you have to send me the report than only I can say anything about it.

Second, you need not to worry much about the skin lesions as they are not related to HIV and the risk is also very remote in your case.

I have attached that picture as well .

Thank you once again for helping me.

Answered by Dr. Sunil Jangid (3 hours later)

Brief Answer:
It is HIV 1 & 2 ELISA report not antigen test and don't worry about bruises

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

As per your report they have done only HIV 1 & 2 ELISA so you can go for HIV Viral RNA or 4th generation test to be completely sure about your status. Don't worry about the bruises it will go off or you can use thrombo-phleb ointment for local application. Be relaxed and move ahead in life.
